WARSAW, Poland -- Another 1,800 Polish villagers were evacuated early Sunday as the floodwater that has swamped much of the south of the country overwhelmed dikes as it surged downstream, emergency services said. About 25 people have been killed by the floods and violent storms in Poland this month. Thousands have been forced out of their homes.
